how many years have you been practicing to write sooooooooo fast?????? OMG! THAT WAS INCREDIBLE!!!

[artvirtue]

@05werewolf I started calligraphy back in 1977. You will see I write very very slowly in other styles of calligraphy scripts. Speed is a relative process, but not the result or achievement.

[05werewolf]

@artvirtue yeah i saw many of your videos in different styles...in your opinion...what's the most difficult style to write?? i think is Kaishu or Lishu .-.

[artvirtue]

@05werewolf In my teachers' opinions, running scripts and standard scripts are the most difficult for the brush techniques. It's not necessary to learn many Chinese calligraphy styles. Throughout Chinese history, fewer people have attained unanimous recognition for running scripts and more people are good at the other four major styles.

@artvirtue your teachers did a good job, `cause your videos are fantastic!! *.*

[artvirtue]

@05werewolf Thank you. I always thank my three teachers of calligraphy.

[05werewolf]

@artvirtue yes....you are really doing it with perfection.....what a gift *-*

[artvirtue]

@05werewolf Thank you. Perfection is relative. My teachers have better students than me.

Beautiful cursive calligraphy! I just want to know if your decision to write in cursive script in this case was based on the paper you were using? I always find harder to apply correct technique for kaishu or make the calligraphy look decent when doing it on card boards. Thank you.

[artvirtue]

@Sanpitsu Thank you. I never prefer to write on card paper. I chose it with smaller cursive scripts (with faster writing) because of the crowd and wind since it's not easy to handle Xuan paper in this situation.
